A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
Growing up, I loved turning old, torn clothes into little outfits for my dolls. I learned to sew by watching my older siblings, and making those clothes was one of the ways I used what we had to play and create.
Less searching. More MEANINGFUL moments.
When kids recognize themselves on the page, coloring changes.
The Inclusive Family Coloring Collection includes 25 human-drawn illustrations centered on everyday moments — designed to make inclusion feel normal, joyful, and intentional.
Because representation shouldn’t be reserved for one month.
Those little outfits gave me a chance to imagine something new for my dolls to wear. Looking through these pages takes me back to that kind of play, when a favorite doll, a few scraps of fabric, and a little imagination could keep me busy.
